I'm new to Lux and I started working on a map right away and I ran into some issues. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's something with the editor.

I have traced my countries and made sure that my borders between countries line up perfectly. I noticed when I make the map larger to be able to see better how things line up and bring it back to the "normal" size that the polygons move around just enough to create openings between countries. This doesn't happen the every time but enough to get frustrated.

Another thing I noticed is when I have two polygon tags within one country tag that they get combined automatically into one tag when clicking on one of the polygons in the map editor. This makes the countries to draw a connection between them and that is not what I want.

The map editor is a bit eccentric. Sometimes a point can't be placed accurately, as you have seen. Undo the last step and place the point again, now at a slightly different position. Repeat until it works. Sometimes it take a few minutes.

You probably want to zoom in to place the points accurately. But zooming in and out many times fucks up the accurate position of your point. My trick was to zoom in 10 clicks (cmd + ,in macos), trace the whole map in one go (really), zoom out 10 clicks (cmd -) and save the map.

Hi, had a look at your tracing image... Some borders are connecting in a cross (north america), or in a sort of spider web centre (asia). That makes it difficult to see what countries are in fact connected. That won't survive the MAPLAB scrutiny. Try to use "T" connections only.
